I am very happy that they are recognizably socks. The pattern was a good one, but at the beginning it told you how to measure your foot and add more stitches if you needed it. I did need some extra stitches but there was not a clear explanation of how to divide them amongst the needles, especially when changing from the various parts of the sock. I have knit quite a few things before, so I felt okay doing it and besides they're for me. I must say, even though I have knit hats and scarfs and mitts, it was a weird but great feeling to have something on my feet that I made.

Sock it to Me!
The end of the school year is always so jammed packed and no matter how much I know that, it always seems like a stressful time. I woke up quite early this morning and decided it was time to get my socks finally done and off my UFO list.

Yay you linked up! Those socks look so comfy and fun! Great post title too. :)
You finished them! They look great! I just cast on a new pair and have changed the needles three times... I was too impatient to wait for the knitting store to open to grab the right six and grabbed a crappy pair at Michael's. Lesson learned..
Yaay, Michelle, they're great looking socks! Congratulations on crossing off a UFO!
Great looking socks! I had a pair with that same yarn but one of them has vanished. Hopefully the lost one will find its way home some day.
Wow! They look so great!! I wish I could knit.
Your socks are awesome...
